There has been a lot of activity at the landfill since my last post. The migrants are coming back full force. Over the last week I've seen: both species of kinglets, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow-throated Warbler, Eastern Kingbird, Lincoln's Sparrow, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, and more.
This is an immature Red-headed Woodpecker. You can tell he's am immature because of the brownish wash on the head, adult's entire heads are bright red. I see this guy in the same spot every day, pecking around on the same couple trees. He won't ever let me approach close enough to get the photographs I want. I might have to set up a stake out sometime soon and catch him unawares.
